I'd like to get started with helping to develop GCC but am seeking
some advice from those of you who are regular contributors on the best
approach to adopt.
I have spent the last few weeks reading the gcc-patches mailing list
and the documentation available on GCC from the Wiki and various other
documents I have found on the Internet to try and get a feel for how
everything works. I also have the latest CVS code and have spent time
reading through the source to become familiar with the coding
conventions in use. I've read through the "beginner" GCC projects on
the website and would like to hear peoples opinion on how useful
submitting patches for some of the these projects would be. Some of
the work being carried out and posted on the gcc-patches mailing list
makes those projects seem insignificant in comparision.
Thanks for your time in reading this,
Lee.
